Absolutely, Annette! DO NOT OPEN THAT!!! Consign it to the Trash with all haste! It came in as Junk, right? Even things that look bona-fide are just plain rubbish. I think I have received this message recently too. And we keep getting some purportedly from our phone company - NOT! - telling us to update our data... I think I am right in saying that the true bank, phone company etc. would never send such an email. I am not savvy about much when it comes to the web, but I have learned to recognise this type of thing. So - better safe than sorry, Girlfriend! Dump it!!

(Also... check the English: Webmail is sometimes "webmail" and sometimes "Webmail". Also, it says "...your webmail will be disable" instead of "disabled". And "click the below link" - not "the link below". Dubious use of the language is always a giveaway!)

If true, Annette-you might consider modifying your post to eliminate the link - just to eliminate the possibility of someone in this forum accidentally clicking on it and getting crap on their computers. I believe the author can modify their own message after posting it.

I agree Lou, when I saw the link, I took a few words out of it and looked it up. It was some kind of spam scam lottery. Definitely a FAKE!! Spikeflow, Flowlist.
